The present invention provided optically active alcohols represented by the general formula:
R¹-A-HCH₃
wherein R¹ indicates an alkyl or alkyloxy group having a carbon number of 1-18, and A indicates a phenyl or a biphenyl group; or a phenyl or biphenyl group having a halogen atom or a cyano group. The alcohols are intermediates of optically active materials useful for components of liquid crystal materials for liquid crystal display elements having quick response.
本发明提供了通式为:R¹-A-HCH₃的光学活性醇,其中 R¹ 表示碳原子数为 1-18 的烷基或烷氧基,A 表示苯基或
联苯基;或具有卤素原子或
氰基的苯基或
联苯基。 这些醇是光学活性材料的中间体,可用作具有快速响应能力的液晶显示元件的液晶材料成分。
